Brookline Library To Host Callie Crossley And Hank Phillippi Ryan

BROOKLINE, MA - From the Public Library of Brookline: On Tuesday, November 27 at 7 PM, the Public Library of Brookline will host An Evening with Hank Phillippi Ryan and Callie Crossley: The Story Behind the Story. Ryan and Crossley will explore questions inspired by Ryan’s newest psychological thriller, Trust Me: How do we know what to believe? How do journalists uncover the truth? And how do reporters and writers translate investigation into narrative? Drawing from their work in journalism and fiction, they will discuss the idea of hunting for the real story, the work of reporters to discover and convey the truth, and the true crime stories that inspired Trust Me.

This event will take place at the Brookline Village Library, 361 Washington Street, and is free and open to the public. Copies of Trust Me will be available for purchase courtesy of the Brookline Booksmith, and Ryan will be available for signings.
